Application filed June 3, 1907.

Serial No. 376,985.

The article to be packed, illustrated in the Be it known that I, LEO H.PELTASON, a drawings by the lamp chimney 13, is then citizen of theUnited States, and resident of St. Louis, Missouri, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Cartons, of which the followingis a specification.

My invention relates to an improved carton for glassware and the like,and has for its object to provide a light and safe receptacle in whichfragile articles, such as lamp chimneys, may be packed fortransportation; the articles being separately packed and the cartonsbeing of a conformation admitting of their being used as permanentpackages when the articles are displayed for sale by the retailer.

In the drawingsFigure 1 is a vertical view in section of a deviceembodying my invention, showing a lamp chimney in place within thecarton. Fig. 2 is a plan View of the blank from which the lining memberof the carton is stamped. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view of acarton and its contained lamp chimney, taken along the line 38 ofFig. 1. Fig. 4: is a perspective view of the inner lining of the cartonafter the same has been stamped from the blank shown in Fig. 2, androlled to a cylindrical form for insertion within the carton.

As shown in the drawings, the carton of my invention consists of theouter cylinder 5 provided with the bottom 6 and top 7. The inner liningof the cart'on is designated by the numeral 8 and comprises a bottomsection 9 and vertical members 10. Two of these inner lining members 8are stamped from a single sheet of corrugated paper, such sheet beingindicated by the numeral 11 in Fig. 2, the sheet being out along thelines 12-12 as shown in Fig. 2. The member 8 having been cut from thesheet 11 is rolled into cylindrical form as shown in Fig. 1, and is thenslid into place within the outer shell or cylinder 5. The verticalmembers 10 are of such a length as to extend above the top of the cartonwhen the base member 9 is in place at the bottom of the carton.

slid into place within the inner lining and the tops of the members 10are then brought over the top of the chimney 13 and folded over eachother so as to overlap and form a cushion within the mouth of the top ofthe chimney, at the point indicated in Fig. 1 by the numeral 1 1.

Some of the advantages attained by my invention are the economy withwhich the inner lining 8 is formed, the economy of its applicationarising from the fact that it is retained in place within the outershell or cylinder 5 without the use of any adhesive or fastening device,and the cushion which is formed by the overlapping of the upper ends ofthe members 10, serving to hold the lamp chimney in position within thecarton and to protect it from breakage in the event of its beingsubjected to a Having fully described my invention, what I claim as newand desire to have secured to me by the grant of Letters Patent, is:

The improved carton herein described, comprising in combination with theouter cylinder 5, the bottom 6 and the'top 7 the lining 8 formed from asingle sheet of corrugated paper seated within the cylinder 5 andadapted to fit securely therein and consisting of the base section 9having vertically projecting sections 10 of such length as to extendabove the top of the carton when the base member 9 is in place at thebottom of the carton, said vertically projecting sections 10 beingadapted to overlap -at their upper ends to form the cushion 1 1,substantlally as described and shown and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, inpresence of two subscribing witnesses.
